CHOCtastic Recipes for the Lovely Month of May

No-Bake White Raw Chocolate Macaroons

Since discovering how to make White Raw Chocolate last month, we’ve been busy experimenting and have come up with a lovely and simple recipe to make White Raw Chocolate Macaroons which we hope you will love. 

The recipe can be used to make individual macaroons or you can also try pressing the mixture into a small tin to create a healthier and raw chocolate version of coconut ice.

This recipe is quick and easy to make and works best if you have your ingredients measured out before you begin.

Ingredients:

• 2-3 tablespoons Sweet Freedom or Agave syrup
• 50g ground almonds
• 2 teaspoons CHOC Chick Lucuma
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean extract  
• 65g desiccated coconut
• Pinch of sea salt(optional)

Directions:

1. Melt the cacao butter in a bain-marie over a low heat.  When completely liquid, stir in the sweet freedom and remove from the heat.
2. Mix in the ground almonds, vanilla bean extract and Lucuma until smooth and evenly combined.
3. Add the coconut to the bowl and mix well until all of the coconut is coated.
4. Leave the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, prepare a tray or plate for your macaroons that will fit in the freezer.
6. Using walnut-sized amounts press the mixture together to make ball shapes.
7. Place the macaroons in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.

To make them extra special, drizzle or coat with raw chocolate (make our Simple Raw CHOC Recipe with 20g CHOC Chick Cacao Butter, 2tbsp CHOC Chick Cacao Powder and 1-1.5 tbsp Sweet Freedom).

Raw CHOC Rice Cakes

On a recent trip to beautiful Barcelona I discovered the most deliciously healthy snack. Chocolate covered rice cakes. It’s simply genius; a perfect blend of slightly salty and slightly sweet makes the perfect guilt free treat.
As I couldn’t buy any in the UK, I decided to make them myself and here is my super easy to RAW CHOC Rice Cakes Recipe. Hope you love them as much as I do!

Ingredients:

• 6 Plain Rice Cakes (I used Kallo’s Organic Rice Cakes)
• 20g CHOC Chick Cacao Butter
• 2tbsp CHOC Chick Cacao Powder
• 1tbsp Sweet Freedom

Directions:

1. Melt the cacao butter in a bowl over a pan of water on a low heat.
2. Once melted add the cacao powder, mix well and stir in the Sweet Freedom (mix well with a metal balloon whisk).
3. Remove from heat and with a spoon coat one side of the rice cake with chocolate.
4. Leave to set in the fridge for around 30 minutes and enjoy lovely and cold (the CHOC Rice Cakes can be stored in the fridge and should last for around 3 days).
